Sound sculptor Bill Fontana visits Charles Amirkhanian in the KPFA studio and brings with him, three recently recorded CDs of his ambient sound extravaganzas. The first “Australian sound sculptures”, issued by Edition René Block, includes Fontana’s 1976 8-track recording of the Kirribilli Wharf in Sydney, Australia. The second, “Landscape Soundings” is from an installation piece in the center of Vienna, Austria, comprised of sounds from natural wetlands along the Danube. The third, “Sonic Projects: Series 1, ‘Natural Sounds to be Heard from a Distance’”, on the New Arts Foundation label, features ten songbird recordings made world wide. (from KPFA Folio)
